Things That Get Coaches Sacked: A Poem

by The Wildcard

Bad results

Ugly style

Haven’t won

For a while

Getting stale

Gone off track               

This is what gets coaches sacked

Playoffs missed

Relegated

Transfers sucked

Fans frustrated

Disillusioned

Lots of flack

This is what gets coaches sacked

Player power

Injured stars

Too much time

Drunk in bars

Didn’t listen

To the pack

This is what gets coaches sacked

Couldn’t hang

With the lads

Got to fighting

With the dads

Took a knife

In the back

This is what gets coaches sacked

Promised lots

Delivered nil

Players were

Uncoachable

Built it up

Just a hack

This is what gets coaches sacked

Out of money

Out of touch

Talked too little

Talked too much

Lost the spark

Lost the knack

This is what gets coaches sacked

Blamed the refs

Blamed the press

Blamed the fans

Caused a mess

No more trophies

For the stack

This is what gets coaches sacked

Didn’t listen

Didn’t grow

Told the board

Where to go

Hit the road

Just like Jack

This is what gets coaches sacked
